The wait is almost over. And the stakes have never been higher. UFC Freedom 250 is just hours away, with the main event and co-main event stars preparing to walk out at the White House South Lawn on Sunday, June 14. But the spectacle won’t be defined by the fights alone. The fighters’ walkout songs are set to make the moment even more unforgettable.

Walkout music has long been a key part of a UFC fighter’s identity, helping set the tone before they step into battle. This event will be no exception. If you’re curious about the songs the athletes are expected to choose for their entrances, here’s everything you need to know about the walkout music for every fighter on the card.

Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje 

Interestingly, Ilia Topuria’s entrance music for the White House card appears to have already been revealed. In a clip shared on social media, Ilia Topuria can be seen reacting to his entrance music, ‘Canción del mariachi’ by Antonio Banderas, while standing inside the UFC Octagon set up at the White House. But that’s not the only walkout music he has used thus far. 

Topuria has previously used Shouse’s ‘Love Tonight,’ ‘Una Palabra’ by Anuel AA, and ‘Froteamos Porque Podemos’ by De La Ghetto. But from the recent clip, it appears he will be using ‘Canción del mariachi’ during his first title defense against Justin Gaethje. Speaking of ‘The Highlight,’ there’s no confirmed walkout song for him, but he has several he has used in the past. 

In his last fight against Paddy Pimblett, the Arizona native didn’t just leave a mark during the bout. He set the mood for the fight by walking out to ‘Standing Outside The Fire’ by Garth Brooks. Before that, ‘The Highlight’ has also used songs like ‘Ready’ by Alborosie ft. Jo Mersa Marley, ‘Fallen Kings’ by the band Tribal Seeds, and ‘El Rey’ by Vicente Fernández. 

Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane

Former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has used ‘Itsari’ by Sepultura for his entrance music. The title of the song means ‘roots’ in the Xavante language, which the Xavante people speak in the area surrounding Eastern Mato Grosso, Brazil. The song is supposed to represent where ‘Poatan’ came from. 

Ciryl Gane, on the other hand, has used several walkout songs for his entrance during a fight. For his bout against Derrick Lewis, Gane ended up trolling the Houston fans who were at UFC 265. He walked out to Still Tippin’ by Mike Jones, which the fans thought was for Lewis, but Gane was the one who came out to it. 

The French heavyweight has also used ‘Zoo’ by Kaaris and ‘Haine & Sex’ by Gazo in his past fights. 

Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi

The former bantamweight champion has used several songs for his entrance music. They are often upbeat and exciting, which helps him prepare for the action in the cage. ‘Superstar’ by Lupe Fiasco, ‘Gooba’ by 6ix9ine, ‘Mapi’ by 6ix9ine, ‘Goat Talk’ by J Rob the Chief, and ‘Party and Bulls–t (In the USA)’ by The Notorious B.I.G. & Miley Cyrus are some of the songs he used. 

Aiemann Zahabi is currently on a seven-fight win streak, and there might be a great reason behind it. The Canadian bantamweight has an awesome list of entrance music he has used in the past, which includes ‘Thug Luv’ by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony feat. Tupac, ‘Still Crusin’ by Eazy E feat. The Game and  ‘Switchez’ by Eazy-E.

Derrick Lewis vs. Josh Hokit

Lewis might not be the best heavyweight out there, but he sure has a great playlist of entrance music. The 41-year-old has previously used ‘Tops Drop’ by Fat Pat and ‘Umm Hmm’ by ABN Trae Tha Truth for his entrances before his bouts, including the one against Gane, as previously mentioned. 

Josh Hokit, on the other hand, is relatively new to the UFC, with a mere three fights in the promotion. Although details about his entrance music are unavailable, the way he has been rising suggests that might not be the case soon enough. 

Michael Chandler vs. Mauricio Ruffy

A three-fight losing streak hasn’t stopped Michael Chandler from trying to secure another win. In his upcoming fight, he will face Mauricio Ruffy. Although the exact song for his entrance is unclear, he has previously used ‘Paid My Dues,’ ‘The Search,’ ‘Iron,’ and ‘Reason,’ all by NF.

Meanwhile, Ruffy is out looking for his second win since dropping a second-round submission loss to Benoît Saint Denis. Whether that will happen is yet to be seen. But he will come prepared with perhaps songs like AC/DC’s adrenaline-pumping track ‘Thunderstruck’ or a custom ‘One-Shot’ theme.

Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus

The Rifle, Colorado native is fighting after six months and is looking to secure his second win since losing to Reinier de Ridder. While it’s hard to tell which song he will be using, he has previously used a great track by Jon Bellion called The Hand of God.’

Kyle Daukaus was supposed to face Vicente Luque in April, but the fight was cancelled. Now, the American middleweight is looking to secure his third win in his second run in the promotion. He previously used ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’ by Thin Lizzy and ‘The Rain’ by DMX. 

Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia

Interestingly, ahead of the UFC White House card, there were rumors that Lopes’s walkout song for the card was banned. However, he clarified that it is not the case and even gave UFC the song he will walk out to. While the exact song hasn’t been revealed, he has previously used ‘La Chona’ by Los Tucanes de Tijuana; ‘Por Mi Mexico’ by Lefty SM, Santa Fe Klan, Dharius, C-Kan, MC Davo, and Neto, and ‘Flaco Pesado’ by Zxmyr feat. Geramx. 

Garcia, who is on an incredible seven-fight win streak, has largely flown under the radar lately. But his entrance music choices haven’t. Having last fought in November last year, Garcia has used songs like ‘Long Live the Champion’ by KB, Gabriel EMC & Yariel; ‘Armies’ by KB; and ‘God’s Country’ by Blake Shelton for his fights. 

That being said, those are all the entrance music fighters on the UFC Freedom 250 card have used in the past. But they might be changing things up because of the scale of Sunday’s event.
